Three Broadband - A cancellation nightmare
Ah, Three Broadband. If it works for you, great. Download speeds are often fabulous and Three's owners CK Hutchison are spending a lot of money upgrading many locations to 5G.

However, there is a BT manhole in the…

BT Contract
Hello, This is a bit of a long shot, but I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get a new deal from BT, when they are still in contract? I still have 17 months left on my contract with them, but I'm conscious I can get a much cheaper deal elsewhere. I currently pay £38.59 per month for Fibre 2, plus £20 per month…

I'm currently with Plusnet and will soon be out of contract. I would like to re-contract or secure a new deal elsewhere to avoid going onto a higher tariff for the same speed and service.

Leave Virgin Media and lose your families email addresses
Hung, drawn and quartered really. I've been with Virgin since they took over our NTLWorld account in 2006. We've always been able to negotiate with retentions to get an acceptable deal, but not this year. I've paid £35 per month for 250 Mb until this month but now they want £57 per month. Local rivals LIT Fibre are…
